Every newsletter contains, at the bottom of the page, a "Manage my preferences" link. It opens a personal page, with no password, where you can change the language, themes, frequency of mailings and address. You can also unsubscribe in one click.

Changes take effect immediately, before the next mailing.

If you have not yet subscribed, start with the Subscribe page.

Choosing the language

The newsletter exists in French, English and Spanish. You can change language at any time without losing your history. The next issue arrives in the new language; the archives remain available in all three versions.

If you wish, you can receive two languages. This option, useful for translators and teachers, doubles the number of messages.

Choosing the themes

Six themes are offered: market, regulation, protection, certification, training and events. Each entitles you to short alerts when an important development occurs: adoption of a directive, publication of a report, opening of registrations.

The themes do not change the monthly newsletter, which remains the same for everyone, but add messages. You can reduce alerts to zero at any time.

Frequency, pause and change of address

You can temporarily suspend mailings for one, three or six months, for example during a period of leave. When the period ends, the newsletter resumes by itself; a message warns you a few days beforehand.

To change your address, enter the new one: a confirmation link is sent to it. The old address remains active until the new one is confirmed, to avoid any interruption.

Unsubscribing

The unsubscribe link is in every message. A single click is enough; no question is asked, although an optional two-question survey is offered afterwards. Mailings stop immediately.

If you unsubscribe by mistake, you can re-subscribe in moments. Your previous preferences are kept for three months to make this easier.
